WIC list

Foodlist En

HB 1776 states that they will use the WIC list to determine which foods will remain tax-free.  Are they going to stick strictly to the list (including sizes) or will there be adjustments.  If they stick strictly to the list, it would be ridiculous.

If you buy a gallon of milk, you won't be taxed.  If you buy a quart of milk, you will be taxed.  
If you buy frosted mini-wheats, you won't be taxed.  If you buy spoon size shredded wheat, you will be taxed.   The only shredded wheat on the list to not be taxed is vanilla almond.
Regular apples won't be taxed, but organic apples will be.  
A dozen eggs won't be taxes, but a carton of 18 eggs will be.
Packaged sliced cheese isn't taxed, but deli-sliced cheese is.
Brand A of juice isn't taxed, but Brand B of the exact same thing is.
Corn tortillas aren't taxed, flour tortillas are.
Whole wheat bread isn't taxed if you are a woman breastfeeding multiple infants - otherwise it would be taxed  (Now how are they going to know if a woman is breastfeeding multiple infants?  That seems a bit intrusive - and how do they program their registers for that?)
